The data layer for scientific research

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that captures messy lab data directly from instruments and research tools, cleans and connects it, making that data usable for AI models. Our product is designed for scientific research teams who struggle to organize and leverage their scattered experimental data for discovery.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here now and after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the biotech and AI research hubs overlap. Being here means easy access to early adopters and strong tech talent.
